You've caught a glimpse of yourself unfolding the fullness of your capacities back into the universe. Sometimes you dare to believe this person could really be you. But how exactly are you moving forward into such a reality? Your attempts thus far have met with resistance, uncertainty, and excruciating pain. Some days, the very reasons to keep going seem to evaporate.
The core of my approach is to strengthen your resilience. This process is painful, requires focused effort, and there is no guarantee of success. If you're ready to rip up that winning lottery ticket, throw it in a mud puddle, and stomp on it, then you're ready to begin working with me.
There are no questions off the table here. No taboos. We can even start with the assumption that your happiness is hopeless. Now with that out of the way... are you willing to move toward wholeness? Then let's begin.

"
I provide coaching with the The Tools by Stutz and Michels which employs visualization and Jung's shadow work. My own approach to shadow work is inspired by Dick Schwartz' Internal Family Systems. I rely heavily on stoic and existential philosophy inspired approaches such as Albert Ellis' REBT and Viktor Frankl's Logotherapy. I'm formally trained in Marsha Linehan's DBT.
